Sean Connery originated the superspy role in a low-budget thriller that broke box office records.
Krim wanted Cary Grant to play Bond, but Grant wanted nothing to do with a potential franchise. Instead, they went with a relatively untested Scottish actor whom Broccoli’s wife, Dana, felt exuded animal sex appeal. After hundreds of unsatisfactory lead actor auditions, Albert Broccoli later recalled, Connery marched in, “pounded the desk and told us what he wanted. What impressed us was that he had balls.
The film, which shot in Jamaica and at London’s Pinewood Studios, ended up looking far more expensive than it was. As Honey Rider, the first Bond girl, Ursula Andress ensured her place in cinematic history the moment she emerged from the Caribbean surf in a daring bikini. And as the title villain, Joseph Wiseman, a Montreal-born Jew playing a half-Chinese character — a casting that likely would never happen today — was wonderfully evil as a bionic-handed terrorist hellbent on destroying the U.S.
